The theme of the game was a big deal around the US bicentennial in 1976. I remember playing this in school then, in 2nd or 3rd grade -- but on paper.

The DOS and Apple II versions are identical. (There was a later "Deluxe" version for DOS that was more like the Mac version.)

Are you sure this is true? I recall the DOS hunting feature using the keyboard to navigate and shoot, whereas the Apple II version used a mouse. It's /possible/ I'm confusing the Apple II version with the Mac version?

I remember playing the Apple IIc version in school and the DOS version at home around 1994, and noting this as the difference.

The Apple II version definitely used the keyboard.

Not all of us. The DOS version was great :-)
